Load this workspace's current state, recent decisions, blockers, priorities, and session continuity, then give a concise briefing. Use only when the user explicitly asks to begin or resume a workspace session.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Start a workspace session

## Execution roots (required)

When the host executes commands inside Bash, replace the `bash` executable
shown below with `"$BASH"` to reuse that shell. This avoids selecting a different
Bash from `PATH`, such as the Windows WSL launcher inside a Git Bash session.
In a terminal outside Bash, select the installed Bash explicitly.

Use the exact roots supplied by the host attachment: `KernelRoot` is the trusted
Context OS product containing `scripts/contextos.sh`; `ContextRoot` owns tracked
identity and lifecycle state; and `WorkingRoot` is the ordinary application.
For an external attachment, require all three exact absolute paths and run:

```text
bash <KernelRoot>/scripts/contextos.sh --context-root <ContextRoot> --working-root <WorkingRoot> <command>
```

Do not search upward or infer a root from cwd or the skill installation. The
kernel must validate the ignored local binding before strict lifecycle work. A
missing, moved, stale, linked, nested, or mismatched binding stops the workflow;
use the explicit `project rebind` proposal after a legitimate move. ContextRoot
owns all lifecycle writes. WorkingRoot is read-only evidence. The colocated
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add conorbronsdon/agent-context-os/context-start@sha256:d1f7c0001d9e700e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.1314d65, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
